My Son, the neologist - Part 2

Gooly likes to coin words. The infamous one is 'goolypop'. It's as though he can't find the most apt word for a particular situation and thus decides to make one up. The recent words are skoobables and samuraized. These are good words. They are short and succinct. Instead of saying, "Let's play tie you up and you scream for help and papah will have to come rescue you," Gooly will just say, "Let's skoobables." If he wanted you to hunt for mosquitoes and use the electric swatter to zap the mozzies, he'd say,"Let's samuraized".

To tell the truth, I wasn't really paying attention to what he said earlier on until I realised he was using the same words again and again. I asked for definitions and he happily provided them. So now in this house of cuckoo, we are using Goolyism where we mingamoon (see previous post),skoobable and samurize.

And oh, we are all behavers, because we behave ourselves.
